The agent for unrestricted free agent defenseman Ryan Suter -- a top target of the Detroit Red Wings -- said his client is making progress but won't be rushed.

General manager Ken Holland met today with Suter at his off-season home in Madison, Wisc., arriving back in Detroit late this afternoon. Holland was not immediately available for comment.

The Wings made an offer of $80 million over 13 years to Suter on Sunday, and have since increased the money to $90 million.

The issue isn't so much money as a whole, rather the salary-cap hit, as the Wings are concerned about retaining flexibility under a new collective bargaining agreement. Their top offer of $90 million averages to a cap hit of $6.9 million, which would put Suter among the leaders for defensemen.

Suter also is being courted by his former team, Nashville, as well as Philadelphia and Minnesota. His agent, Neil Sheehy, told the Free Press, "a decision is forthcoming," but wouldn't say whether it will come today.
